in upon US unawares. The pa
tients have pains about the
chest and sides, and sometimes
in the back. They feel dull
and sleepy; the mouth has a
bad taste, especially in the
morning. A sort of sticky shine
collects about the teeth. The
appetite is poor. There is a
feeling like a heavy load on the
stomach; sometimes faint, all
gone sensation at the pit of the
stomach which food does not
satisfy. The eyes are sunken,
the hands and feet become cold
and clammy. After a while a
cough sets in, at first dry, but
after a few months it Is attend
ed with a greenish-colored ex-
pectoration. The patient feels
tired all the while, and sleep
does not seem to afford any
rest. After a time he becomes
nervous, irritable and gloomy,
and has evil forebOdings. There
is a giddiness, a sort of whirl-
ing sensation in the head when
rising up suddenly. The bow
els become costive; the skin Is
dry and hot at times; the blood
becomes thick and stagnant;
the whikessf the eyes become
tingei WIN yellow; the urine
is scanty and high colored, de
posting a sediment after stand
ing. There is frequently a
splitting up of the food, some
times with a sour taste anc
sometimes with a sweetlsh
taste; this is frequently at
tended with palpitatiOn of the
heart; the vision becomes I'M
paired, with spots before the
eyes; there is a feeling of grea
prostratiOn and weakness. Al

present. 1t is thought that
nearly one-third of our popu-

of It's varied forms.
1t has been found that ply
sicians have mistaken the cause
of this disease. Some have
treated it for a liver complaint,
others for kidney disease, ETC.,
ETC., but none of these kinds of
treatment have been attended
with success; for it is really
constipation and dyspepsia. 1t
is also found that Shaker Elk
tract of Roots, or Mother Sci
GELS Curative Syrup, when
properly prepared viii remove
this disease in all its stages.
Care must be taken, however,
to secure the genuine article.
